Hello! I'm Lucy, I'm a historian, I write books like biographies of Agatha Christie and present a VERY GOOD @BBCSounds podcast called #LadyKillers. For ages I was Chief Curator of Historic Royal Palaces, now an Ambassador for the charity.

One thing I love about living by the river in central London is that yesterday I was able to text home 'sorry going to be late, my boat got stuck behind the HMS Waverley, the UK's oldest working steam ship.'

Is there a special name for a whole lot of pelicans? Like these ones I saw in St James's Park?

In an unexpected twist, team LADY KILLERS came away from the British Podcast Awards:

- without the award for which we were shortlisted🙁
- but WITH a cushion with my face on it

Silver lining, huh? 🤔

On a recent trip to Winchester, on Jane Austen business of course, I saw the Actual Mr Darcy Suit worn by Colin Firth in the 1995 version of P&P. To ladies my age, THIS IS EVERYTHING

Caroline, my favourite queen
No, she's not in Bridgerton. But she deserves a mini-series of her own.

Update from Bavaria: the hotel where my crew and I are staying has a NAKED ZONE. I've reassured them that I won't be using it. And in other news, I've acquired a Bavarian hat 😃

Another good thing that happened was getting praised in the vote of thanks for including some haemorrhoids.

Gave a history talk about Queen Caroline.

'Sorry my daughter didn't come,' a lady said, 'she thought it was about Queen Charlotte and changed her mind when she realised it was Queen Caroline. Queen Caroline isn't in Bridgerton.' 😆

At Greggs in High Holborn there is - according to this eighteenth-century newspaper at least - 'as good CHOCOLATE as can be made in England.'

Well done Greggs!

(I have a family member who loves Greggs so much he tried to take his wife there on Valentine's Day.)

Tomorrow for work reasons I need to watch a draft version of a new TV programme while travelling on a plane.

I hope no one spots me & thinks 'it's a bit weird that Lucy Worsley spends her flight, erm, watching Lucy Worsley documentaries.'

Keeping a low profile in my Paris hotel because last time I was here I accidentally trashed my room. I left half a cup of tea on the ledge of the open window, the wind blew, and the tea went all over the white curtains 😳

85 years ago, the Battle of Britain was in progress. Wonderful dinner at the RAF Museum to commemorate. In the first photo I'm standing inside a flying boat!
